High-Strength Cable Protection Duct for Telecom & Utility Networks in KSA & GCC
The ever-increasing demand for high-capacity civil engineering networks in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait has taken the need for long-lasting ducting systems to protect underground cables and pipelines for the long term to an enormous extent. Among the major conduits in the Gulf region is the HDPE PE100 Main-Duct Full Black 200 MM – PN 10, which is remarkable for its amazing strength, excellent performance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
The main duct is extensively used in telecommunications networks, power cable protection, fiber-optic networks, district cooling systems, oil & gas conduits, and civil engineering projects to ensure safe and reliable cable placement even in very unfriendly desert locations. The duct, made from the exceptional material composition—PE100 grade—claims the best longevity, flexibility, and durability and hence becomes not only suitable for new installations but also upgradings in high-load infrastructure projects.
The HDPE PE100 Main-Duct Full Black 200mm PN 10 is a heavy-duty, large-diameter duct designed for long-distance underground cable installations and high-capacity utility conduits. Manufactured using virgin polyethylene PE100 resins, the duct offers exceptional resistance to pressure, corrosion, chemicals, and environmental stress cracking—making it a top choice for GCC infrastructure.
This main-duct is specifically engineered to support:
Fiber-optic trunk routes
High-voltage electrical cable pathways
Oil & gas signaling lines
Municipal utilities and pipeline protection
Smart city and 5G network expansions
The full-black design enhances UV resistance, ensuring the duct remains stable even when exposed to sunlight during storage or installation.
Its PN10 pressure rating indicates the ability to withstand internal or external loads up to 10 bar, making it extremely reliable for buried applications under roads, industrial zones, and infrastructure corridors.

PE100 is the most powerful polyethylene grade which is globally accepted. It has the following features:
The material exhibits great crack, distortion, and aging resistance especially in hot locations such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat.
The internal surface that offers no friction is a major contributor to cable blowing and pulling being easier and consequently, the installation of large fiber bundles is done without damaging the fibers.
The duct is capable of withstanding impact, pressure and unintentional hits even with heavy earth load and construction activity nearby.
HDPE PE100 is impervious to corrosion and rust and does not react with soil chemicals that are usually present unlike metal and PVC ducts.
The anticipated lifespan is over 50 years thus it is the ideal option for governments, telecom companies and contractors who seek a dependable long-term solution.

The 200mm duct is wide enough to move and not interfere with the high-density bundles of cables, power lines, and utility conduits.
The duct has been developed to last tough situations since the climate in the Gulf area is hot and the duct must be climate-proof.
The long life and low failure rate of HDPE PE100 ducts mean that they will cut down on maintenance costs in the long run.
The duct being large and yet so flexible that any ground movement caused by men or machines will not result in splitting.
The process is very fast installation, and reduced labor cost as the cables can be blown or pulled through very long distances.
The duct will always maintain its original shape and strength whether it's under highways, in industrial areas, or even in construction.
This feature is especially beneficial for coastal towns like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Jubail, Salalah, and Manama.
The following types of cables are allowed:
Used as a main conduit for high-speed internet networks including FTTH, metro fiber, and long-haul connectivity routes.
Ideal for underground high-voltage and medium-voltage power cables.
Supports smart poles, traffic systems, CCTV networks, IoT lines, and digital connectivity.
Used in monitoring and control cable protection for refineries and petrochemical zones.
Essential in large-scale construction projects such as NEOM, The Line, and Qatar Smart Corridors.
Provides safe pathways for telecom and power cables beneath expressways.
Protects control and automation cables for pumping stations.
Used in factories, airports, ports, and logistics cities for stable cable routing.
Prepare proper trench first. Do so by getting a soft bedding material that is soft enough to prevent the pipe from being abraded.
Absolutely joining ducts with couplers or electrofusion fittings will result in conserved leak-free continuity.
Rollers and blowing machines will glide the cables through the duct safely and smoothly without difficulty.
Keeping duct ends sealed continuously throughout installation will prevent water, sand, or dust from occupying the space.
Before final compaction, soft soil will be used around the duct to ensure protection.
The pipes should be stored before installation in shaded areas to minimize direct sunlight exposure thoroughly.
Middle Eastern soil contains:
High salt concentration
High temperatures
Corrosive elements
HDPE PE100 easily handles all these conditions.
Mega-projects like:
NEOM
Red Sea Project
Riyadh Metro
Hamad Smart City
Abu Dhabi Fiber Grid
